Welcome to the home page for the Woodburn Museum.  The museum houses a large collection of historical memorabilia, natural history artifacts, and research records.  The history exhibited reflects the heritage of Woodburn’s diverse population.

The Woodburn Museum underwent an extensive renovation this past year and we are eager to have visitors come share our passion for the region’s heritage.  Our exhibits highlight Woodburn’s agricultural, farming, railroad, social, educational, and civic heritage.  The historic Bungalow Theater, the first movie house in Woodburn, is part of the museum complex and will show silent films by prior appointment.

The museum recently has established a computer research terminal in the museum for public viewing of select photograph collections.  This new service allows the public to research records for genealogical and scholastic purposes and we can, by prior appointment, provide assistance in the research process.

The museum is regularly open to the public from 11-3 on Saturdays, or by appointment.  During the month of January and February the museum closes for regular maintenance.  We love to give student tours.  Please stop by at 455 N. Front Street during our hours of operation or call us at (503) 982-9531.  In the meantime, follow the links below to get a sampling of the museum’s offerings. 

Volunteers are desperately needed to serve as docents and keep the museum doors open to the public.  We welcome people with all skill levels, ages, and backgrounds to our team!  Please contact the museum manager about this opportunity – (503) 980-2478.
